My March race is done.....

I ran the 5 mile St Patrick's Day Parade race in 52:10 today.  I had to walk some of it, but still did much better than I thought I would.  I was aiming to do under an hour and I easily made it.  Most surprising was that I did it at my usual 5K pace.  I had to walk some of it, but I felt great the whole time, so I am very happy.  Before and after pictures show how happy we were.  Perfect weather for a race.

This looks like something I should try.....

Trying a new kind of challenge

After having done the Whole30 challenge three times and the Whole Life challenge twice, I've confirmed my suspicions.  I figured out that I will commit whole-heartedly to a challenge the first time, but after that I know I can do it.  Any subsequent time, I don't feel the need to do it 100% because I know I can do it-I've done it before.  Every time I do a challenge, I think "I'll do it right this time".  Every time, I don't.  So, now I have to come up with new challenges for myself.
I'm at the end of WLC #2.  I really have done horribly this time.  I tried to convince myself that I was trying to re-educate myself to eat fairly well indefinitely.  Unfortunately, the end result has been that I now weigh more than I did at the beginning of the challenge and that my exercise routine has been sketchy at best.
I'm going back to my roots and doing something in Lent.  Starts today.  I'm going for a lofty goal, combining Whole30 and WLC.  Every day, I'm going to try to achieve the following:
Eat right (this is my Whole30 part)
Take a supplement (I take fish oil, but I think I'm going to add Ginkgo since I am doing research with it)
Exercise for 10 minutes every day (this will be walking on many days)
Mobility for 10 minutes (I do this while I am heating water for my tea-3 minutes 3/4 times a day)
Drink 60 oz water each day (I do this mostly with tea, easier to do at work than at home)
Sleep 7 hours at night (this will be the hardest)
Optional from WLC-read, meditate, do something I love, act of kindness....
If my suspicions are correct, I should be able to do this.....
Starting weight is 123.8 lbs
